Log into your desktopX system as student, then elevate your privileges to root.
1. ```
[student@desktopX ~]$ su -
Password: redhat
```
Create a new daily cron job that logs a message to the system log with the number of currently active users (w -h | wc -l). You can use the logger command to send messages to the system log.
1. Open a new file in /etc/cron.daily in an editor, e.g., /etc/cron.daily/usercount.
```
[root@desktopX ~]# vim /etc/cron.daily/usercount
```
2. Write the script that logs the number of active users to the system log.
  Insert the following in your editor:
```
#!/bin/bash
  USERCOUNT=$(w -h | wc -l)
  logger "There are currently ${USERCOUNT} active users"
```
3. Make the script executable:
```
[root@desktopX ~]# chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/usercount
```
The sysstat package, when installed, has a cron job that runs every 10 minutes, collecting data using a command called sa1. Make sure this package is installed, then change this job to run every five minutes.
1. Make sure the sysstat package is installed.
```
[root@desktopX ~]# yum -y install sysstat
```
2. Find out in which file the sysstat package has configured the cron jobs. Cron jobs are generally configured in files marked as a configuration file for the package manager.
```
[root@desktopX ~]# rpm -qc sysstat
```
  /etc/cron.d/sysstat looks promising.
3. Open /etc/cron.d/sysstat in an editor.
```
[root@desktopX ~]# vim /etc/cron.d/sysstat
```
4. Change */10 on the sa1 line to */5.
5. Save your changes and exit.
6. Monitor the files in /var/log/sa to see when their sizes and timestamps change.
```
[root@desktopX ~]# watch ls -l /var/log/sa
```
